Answer:

b. an economic profit of 100%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in the industry. There are high barriers to entry of firms in a monopoly. Profit is maximised where MR = MC.

Economic profit is affected by the entry or exit of firms into the industry in the long run. Due to the high barriers to entry, a monopoly earns economic profit in the long run.

I hope my answer helps you
